Tonight I surprised myself by running `find ~/Desktop/folder/ -name "*.jpg"
-exec mv {} ~/Desktop/folderjpgs/ \;` successfully! My first custom find
command line ever.
But there were two issues -- I had to escape the semicolon with a "\" --
does this ever cause problems for find command lines? Second, this found
only *.jpg files and left behind *.JPG files so how do you make find be
case-insensitive? -exec ThankYouScript.sh {} \;
